Summary
Eleanor Demis is a backend developer in San Francisco with a decade of experience building resilient, lifecycle-minded systems using Node, Java, Ruby, Kubernetes, AWS/GCP, MySQL, Redis, and observability tooling like Datadog. Coming from a non-traditional path—an MS in Materials Chemistry from UCLA with research on artificial neural network hardware—she blends scientific rigor with pragmatic engineering. She prioritizes mentorship, team growth, and diversity and inclusion, shaping healthier engineering cultures as much as reliable services. Comfortable across cloud-native infrastructure and backend services, she focuses on long-lived, maintainable technology rather than quick fixes.
